Well the forcast said sunny and the weather was perfect to open up the telescope and get it connected and moving. photos to come....
Todays chart says just how it has been, blue skies all day, warm in the sunshine....shiverin in the shade harumph harumph. Now the full moon bright and clear.
And so I got the telescope out of its shed today, really its taking the shed from round the scope cos the telescope is fixed on a concrete pillar.....shock proof ! ! and the shed dismantles at the turn of a few heave ho's. Anyway Jims Meade LX200GPS has made its next moves today.....a lot to find out about the Autostar 2, connections to the laptop........they all look the same these connection cables......wheres the extension lead........what does this bit connect to.....what IS this bit....thank goodness for the internet...all questions resolved....power pack charging up ............programmes loaded on to laptop.........checked outdoor wifi..........all systems ready to go. Tomorow allegedly the moon is closest to earth forsome time/years? well a good time to have a go I think. The slideshow is of skies from Jim's Observatory Shed.....
Still stunned at the ferociousness of the weather .......
In the meantime, here's some quiet skies ....just remembering....
